Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has a large stone on its tail.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

This hatchling has more uses than keeping track of how many Sunstone Dragons are in the cave. She helps cook some of the caught fish and meat, she hunts birds for her friends, and she is very kind. So in simple words, she is kind, helpful, caring, and great at cuddles!
